The term digitalization is in trend. In addition to modernizing existing structures and converting analogue to digital processes, there are now alarge number of digital applications available in the medical field. This is also increasingly influencing prehabilitation and rehabilitation. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of digitalization options in the field of rehabilitation, taking the current literature into account.
